The Detroit Tigers' offense threatened but ultimately could not deliver the big hit against one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Christopher Sánchez navigated through a hot Tigers lineup, leading the way in a 4-2 Tigers loss on Saturday, July 11, at Comerica Park. The Tigers (44-51) had won six straight games and nine of 10 entering Saturday.
Detroit's only big swing came from rookie catcher Eduardo Valencia, who hit his second home run in the first three games of his major league career with an opposite-field shot off Sánchez. But the rest of the offense had few answers for the National League All-Star.
